The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

Something I would like to see improved in Pipefy is the dashboards. They are good, but they are a little limited. This point is important, and I would also like to see a bit more clarity in the use of AI tokens. Pipefy already offers connection and artificial intelligence tools that help you with your forms and make the process much more intuitive, but it is still a bit obscure regarding consumption, how that consumption occurs, and how to build this in a way that is relatively economical. Another important thing is related to cost. Pipefy's license cost is a high cost compared to other players in the market, but so far it has been worth it. Another thing I would suggest is if they had a white-label option where we could put a bit more of the company's identity. Pipefy already is white label, but the customization options are a little more limited. Turning that into a more attractive page would be nice for some companies so that we can incorporate it into our portals.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"My advice to other people who are thinking about using Pipefy is that it is very good, as it offers a lot of artificial intelligence systems, automation, and it is an extremely reliable and secure system."
"My advice to other people who are thinking about using Pipefy is that it is a great tool to use in daily work, giving visibility of all the necessary information needed."
"Pipefy really improved my routine and reduced some errors."
"Since using Pipefy, I estimate that we have saved 50% in time and costs."
"I would advise other people who are thinking about using Pipefy that it is a great tool that will make their lives easier, optimize their time, and facilitate teamwork, so I would highly recommend this tool for those who are going to work in a team, especially."
"Certainly, there has been measurable improvement with Pipefy, such as an increase in productivity due to no longer performing so much manual work."
"I rate the cost-benefit of Pipefy in relation to what it delivers as very good because it is not software that has a very high cost and it delivers a lot of functionality and a lot of efficiency in the commercial area."
"Pipefy has had a positive impact on my organization and it made day-to-day work much easier."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"I find Pipefy's customer support really bad and unsatisfactory."
"I think an improvement, a good improvement, would be on the cost. I think it is a slightly expensive platform and a slightly expensive system."
"The ease of automations in Pipefy is something that is very good, but if the user doesn't know how to use it, it can create rework and errors, because sometimes the logics conflict with each other."
"I believe Pipefy can be improved by clarifying the API calls and making packages for API calls more accessible, because in my organization we have a lot of automation, but we have few API calls, precisely because we have a fixed plan and the organization, in fact, does not need that."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved."
"Support is an area of Pipefy that I see has some room for improvement because there is a delay in support responses, and I find the support system somewhat bureaucratic."
"Pipefy can be improved with processes not only following Kanban styles but other kinds of processes that have more paths, not just a single, direct path, but they have bifurcations."
"Pipefy could be improved by having an app edition for quick evaluation on my cellphone."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
